Went through this with mil
The issue specifically With dementia and other memory related issues is there Are few dedicated facilities that specialize in care of individuals with these issues. Most facilities are a wing of a nursing facility where the staff does not have any specialized training and you therefore end up with sub-par care
The challenge at large is growing because of the number of people entering their senior years (baby boom generation) and the fact is there is not sufficient existing capacity dedicated or not dedicated to provide for their care
When you factor in the whole cost issue it gets even more complicated
Sad and terribly unfortunate
Good luck to you with the care of your mom
